PreS-Gr 4–Susanne is a young girl who lives in a big city. She often visits her grandparents in the country, and when she does, she loves to spend time with her favorite tree. The tree is giant, full of life, and waiting to be explored. Tallandier has created a lovely story about the beauty and friendship people share with nature. Every description of how Susanne interacts with her tree is full of tenderness, encouraging readers to connect with their surroundings, too. Guided questions help supplement read-aloud sessions. Fujisawa’s illustrations depict the tree as a vibrant giant throughout all seasons. Both the humans and the natural world are depicted with details and colors that bring them to life.
VERDICT Combined, Tallandier’s words with Fujisawa’s illustrations depict a story filled with pure love and adoration for the rainbow of nature and the opportunities it presents to us.
